Just finished WK5 on Fri nite..I found the 20min run was ok..I seem 2 b able 2 do the longer runs easier than run/walk intervals. Couldnt believe it when Jo said I was half way thru, then a 15min update then b4 u know ur finished..I let a victorious squeal out of me 🤣

Hi Vic
It does feel like a big jump but you are already doing 20mins of fast exercise you are just changing the fast walking to jogging
No medals for speed and it is all psychological
Just pace yourself and it will be a breeze
Good luck
You got this
